Harsha Kotak Joins Design at Work New York to Help Shape the Future of Workplace Design

August 25, 2026

The future of workplace design will be shaped by people who are prepared to challenge conventional thinking. That’s why we’re delighted to share that WOD founder Harsha Kotak has joined the Design at Work New York Founding Steering Committee.

Over a career spanning more than two decades, Harsha has helped organisations around the world create workplaces that balance business performance and sustainability with the needs of the people who use them every day.

Through her role on the UK Design Council Experts Board, and as founder of WOD – Women in Office Design and the SDC – Sustainable Design Collective, Harsha has consistently championed collaboration, sustainability and the sharing of knowledge across the workplace design community.

As a member of the Founding Steering Committee, she will help shape the conversations, ideas and thought leadership that define the inaugural edition of Design at Work New York.

Harsha will also bring the Sustainable Design Forum to Design at Work New York, with a dedicated half-day programme curated by SDF on one of the event’s live stages.

“I’m delighted to be joining the Founding Steering Committee for Design at Work New York. I’m looking forward to collaborating with an exceptional group of industry leaders to shape the conversations that will define the future of workplace design. Together, we have an opportunity to challenge conventional thinking, champion innovation and sustainability, and build a platform that creates lasting value for our industry.” – Harsha Kotak

We look forward to seeing the ideas, conversations and collaborations that emerge as the Founding Steering Committee begins shaping this important new platform for the workplace design community.
